It's a rather sad state of affairs when our old friend Buster
Keaton can't put over the laughs. He prances around with that
frozen look on his face trying to be funny and with the aid of
a big cow does his best with an improbable story. The gags are
not what they should be, and they don't come fast enough. But
all tastes are different . . . you will get a few laughs out of
it, anyhow.

GO WEST
Starring Buster Keaton
MOTION PICTURE
February, 1926

Buster Keaton comes out in bovine society here - in a picture
which is a satire on the cactus country melodramas. It is not
so wildly hilarious as "The Navigator" or two or three
others which deserved their blue ribbons.

The stock situations of the cowboy dramas are all in their
accustomed places - tho hokumized by the sad-eyed Buster and his
contented cow, Brown Eyes, which follows him as the lamb followed
Mary.

Buster effects this pathetic expression, but he fails to make
it a riot of pathos and humor. Consequently, it falls rather flat.
The finish is novel in that Buster's cows stampede a city street
on their way to the slaughterhouse and the eventual minute steaks.
